Passage / Scenario
A client with a new diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndromeA nurse in a provider's office is planning care for a client who has a new diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome. The nurse should plan to monitor which of the following laboratory values?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Glucose. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin resistance, leading to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Monitoring glucose levels is crucial in managing PCOS to detect any abnormalities early and implement appropriate interventions. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (A) is not directly related to PCOS. BUN (C) and liver function (D) are not typically affected by PCOS. Monitoring glucose levels is essential for early detection and management of diabetes in clients with PCOS.
